NAHJ to Honor Trailblazing Founders

July 09, 2014 12:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Throughout the years, Latino journalists have broken barriers, opened
doors, and made newsrooms more diverse, adding much-needed voices to the
journalism landscape in the United States.

We continue to do so, but much of it wouldn’t have been possible without
the efforts of a group of journalists who in 1984 decided to put their
names on the line and establish a national organization to represent the
interests of Hispanic journalists and improve the quality of journalism
in the United States.

NAHJ will honor these trailblazing founders at its 30th
anniversary convention in San Antonio, August 7-9 where more than 1,000
journalists and many others are expected to attend.

The following will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during the Hall of
Fame Gala on Saturday, August 9:

Join us in San Antonio and not only will you be at the nation’s premier
gathering of Hispanic journalists, you’ll be a big part of an important
celebration as NAHJ says GRACIAS to its founders.

¡NAHJ 30: AYER, AHORA, ADELANTE!
